Criminal Defense Cases That Our Firm Handles

A criminal attorney from our firm can provide you with legal assistance
and representation in any of the following ways:

ArsonArson is the act of intentionally lighting anything on fire including structures,
property and other objects. The severity of the penalties for this crime
depends on the nature of the property that was destroyed, if anyone was
injured, your criminal history and other elements.

AssaultAssault is the threat of physical harm as opposed to actual physical harm.
Due to the nature of an arson charge, an individual can be accused and
charged with this crime based solely on the word of another person. This
can easily lead to wrongful convictions.

Asset ForfeitureState and federal agencies have the power and authority to forfeiture all
types of personal property and assets from citizens when the property
is believed to be connected to criminal activity. A person's assets can
be forfeited, even if they are never convicted of a crime.

BatteryThis is the crime of any unwanted physical contact. While assault is the
threat or fear of physical harm, battery is actual contact. Regardless
if you harmed the person, you can be charged with battery if there was
any physical contact involved.

Child Abuse Central Index HearingsIn California, when people are investigated for child abuse or neglect,
their personal identifying information is added to the Child Abuse Central
Index, particularly when allegations are substantiated by evidence. In
order to challenge being placed on this list, you need to request a hearing
and be represented by an attorney.

DUIIf you are arrested with a BAC (blood alcohol content) of 0.08% or higher
then you will be charged with DUI. If you are convicted then you could
face up to six months in jail, up to $2600 in fines and other penalties.

Domestic ViolenceSpousal abuse, child abuse, neglect, economic abuse, physical violence,
verbal abuse, violent threats and many other actions can be considered
domestic violence. It is important to have skillful representation on
your side if you have been charged with this crime.

Drug CrimesVarious drug crimes that you can be charged with include possession, distribution
or selling, and cultivation. The penalties for conviction of this crime
will be determined based on the type and amount of drug that was in your
possession as well as other elements.

EmbezzlementIf you have been charged with the white collar crime of embezzlement then
you could face the same penalties as a conviction of grand theft or petty
theft depending on the amount of money involved. Embezzlement is taking
money from an account for purposes other than the original intent of the
account owner.

Violation of Probation & ParoleIf you are released from prison on parole then there are various terms
that you must adhere to otherwise you will be put back in prison to finish
your sentence. Probation is an alternative to some penalties but it also
comes with terms, and violation of these terms can incur harsh penalties.

KidnappingUnlawfully seizing and carrying away a person by force or by fraud is considered
kidnapping. Depending on various elements in this crime you could face
felony charges of extensive prison time and serious fines.

MurderKilling an individual with malice aforethought is the crime of murder in
California. The element that separates murder from another kind of crime
is that of malice aforethought which means that the crime was planned
and that death was intended.

ManslaughterManslaughter is different from the crime of murder in California in that
death was not intended, essentially it was an accident. There are three
different kinds of manslaughter: voluntary, involuntary, and vehicular.

Theft CrimesTheft is the unlawful taking and carrying away of the personal property
of another without permission, and with the intent to permanently deprive
them of this property. This can include burglary and robbery among other crimes.

Sex CrimesVarious sex crimes that you can be charged with include rape, sexual assault,
and intercourse with a minor as well as others. Some of these various
crimes will carry the penalty of mandatory sex offender registration.

Weapon ChargesYou can be charged with a weapon offense if you are in unlawful possession
of a weapon, if you unlawfully discharged a weapon, or if you committed
another crime involving a deadly weapon. The penalties for these crimes
can be very severe.

White Collar CrimesEmbezzlement, money laundering, identity theft and many other crimes can
be considered as white collar crimes. These are generally committed by
high-salaried professionals for financial gain.

AppealsIf you have received a conviction and a highly undesirable sentence then
you may be able to appeal the court's decision to a higher court in order
to reduce your sentence, or have the matter dropped altogether in some cases.

Criminal History CleanupCriminal history cleanup or expungement is the process of sealing old criminal
records so that they are not available to be considered when deciding
on the charge that you may face in the case of a subsequent conviction
for a crime.
